Algorithm Animation Software

- AlgoViz:
 AlgoViz.org
A portal listing lots of algorithm animations with comments and recommendations (includes all of the ones below)

- Animal: hard to draw graphs or anything else; to do an animation you have to write a script that puts words and pictures on the screen; it appears that everything is hard wired into the script

- Galles

Very nice but can't draw your own graphs; however, you can always get a new random graph; and you can change the start vertex for various searches; small print (but that can be changed if you create your own); can create algorithms similar to GDR but code is much more complicated (allows more options than are really useful, I feel)

- Gosh: very clunky; could not get it to work; also an applet

- j-Algo: very nice; excellent interface; every animation has its own graph drawing interface (?!); probably hard (or impossible) to write a new one; can save and load easily

- JARC: applet, not very interesting

- Javanga;

(applet, easy to use)
